Environmental and climate-change concerns are increasing the focus on becoming carbon-neutral, and in-turn, generating ideas for creating energy from natural resources. Government support for these projects is similarly increasing as demonstrated by the passage of various renewable energy legislation, implementation of renewable portfolio standards, net metering programs, fuel standards, energy incentives, and tax credits. The most common types of alternative or renewable energy projects handled by our attorneys include:
- Wind Energy
- Solar Energy
- Geothermal Energy
- Hydropower / Tidal Energy
- Biomass / Agricultural Energy
- Fuel Cell / Hydrogen Energy
- Biodiesel / Renewable Fuels
